Technical Advice and Questions / Re: Synthetic Winchline

If you can find any way to find the $ for it, go with Masterpull XD.  It's THE end all, be all, of syn lines.  5/16 is more than heavy enough.

The trail maintenance and trail cutting weekend are here.  Next weekend is the start of the season at RR.

Indeed, Rick.  It's really exceeded the expectations of a lot of people.

The trail system is going to be significantly bigger in about two weeks.     Lots of new, killer trails to cut.  We really emphasized the blue/low black because those guys cover a lot of ground in a day.  The upper black/reds get all the fun press, but they are a very small portion of the overall trail network.  I can take a group of 5 guys and cover 500yards in a weekend with black/red.

I didn't see it posted anywhere on the site.


Thanks to volunteers who spent countless hours at the park, we'll have OPEN trail riding this year.  The park will open for the season on April 3.

Also, look for Rock Run in the current issue (20) of Crawl Magazine.

Wheeling schedule is ready to go.  Look for an info email/post in the next few days.  We'll be starting in April and have monthly open rides.

I run propane on my AMC360.  I get a full day of trail riding out of a 33# forklift cylinder.  I also run the kit from gotpropane.com.  I fill at a local place here.  It's not the most convenient, but the price is right.  The setup is just dead on simple to install and run.  I can't complain about that.  Tank fills run from $22-25.

Technical Advice and Questions / Re: what to look for in a winch?

Look for a winch with Warn on the front.  It's an easy decision.  They're just time tested and proven.  I LOVE my HS9500i.

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.  I'm one of the committee members of the WPA4xTRAC.  It's been nothing short of an enormous amount of work to get this where we are today.  We have held two trail rides there, and we have a few more scheduled throughout the fall.  The Oct 4/5 and 25/26 dates are filling quickly, so I would highly suggest you register now.  I know the pre-registration is a bit cumbersome, but it's how we have to work for now.  Remember, this is 100% done by volunteers.  We volunteers are even doing all of the trail guiding. 
The park does have primitive camping.  If you have any questions at all, please PM me or email me dan58@marylandcreepers.com
